[http://www.theleeegh.org] As a graduate of Byrd High School in Shreveport, Louisiana, I’d like to offer them a tribute. They not only provided me with the most important educational experience I had, but also a model for management, leadership, and communication within groups. I hope to be able to show my appreciation by giving back to education. Encouraging leadership throughout the field will help these schools continue to provide high-quality education.
